Internship Program

The Newark Museum Internship Program is designed to provide interns with an overview of the Museum industry at large and the Newark Museum specifically, as well as the museum's partnership with the City of Newark. Museum internship opportunities are offered year-round in all of its major departments including Curatorial, Registrar, Education, Science, Marketing/Public Relations, Exhibition Design, Library and Information Technology. Interns work on an array of projects and depending on academic training, experience and stated interest, are assigned to a specific staff member, or in some cases, to a department at large. Applicants of all educational and career backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

The Newark Museum accepts applications for the program throughout the year. Candidates must submit an application by the deadlines listed below in order to be considered for the time frame indicated.
